$_SESSION[] Does Not Work?!

[saidbakr]

Hi,
In PHP.ini register_globals = off.
The $SESSION Does not Work!???
Look at this Example
Page1.php

<?
session_start();
$_SESSION["id"];
$id = "AbboP";
?>
<a href="page2.php">Kont</a>

page2.php

<?
session_start();
echo "<hr>".$_SESSION["id"]."<br>hhhh";//here the value of $_SESSION["id"] does not printed out?!
unset($_SESSION["id"]);
echo "<br>---".$id;
 ?>

So What's the problem?
My PHP Version is 4.2.3 it's from phpdev423
register_globals = off.

By the way every thing goes well when I set register_globals = on and use debricated
session_register() ??!!!😕

i think u have to register the session first

example
session_register('var1');

$_SESSION['var1'] = "blah";

In PHP Manual, they said " Don't use session_register(), session_is_set() and session_unset() while you using $_SESSION[]."

use this instead
page1.php

<? 
session_start(); 
$_SESSION['id'] = "AbboP"; 
?> 
<a href="page2.php">Kont</a>

page2.php

<? 
session_start(); 
echo "<hr>".$_SESSION['id']."<br>hhhh";//here the value of $_SESSION["id"] does not printed out?! 
unset($_SESSION['id']); 
echo "<br>---".$id; 
 ?>
